In his tweet on Wednesday, although Sani did not mention actual names, he implied that presidential media aides might come for the Sultan as in the case of Father Mbaka of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN) and Bishop Mattew Kukah.
Sani said:
"The Sultan has thrown a Pebble into the Palace; hope the guards would not chase him hard with machetes, like Mbaka and Kukah."
Earlier, Sa’ad Abubakar III on Tuesday, May 25 urged the federal government to explain to Nigerians how much loots it had recovered and what they were being used for.
He spoke in Sokoto at the zonal dialogue with stakeholders on the National Ethics and Integrity Policy, for the northwest zone.
The Sultan, represented by the Wazirin Sokoto, Professor Sambo Wali Junaidu, said keeping mute on the recovered loots would spell doom for the fight against corruption in the country.

The cleric was quoted to have said:
“The government owes Nigerians an explanation, we want to know how much billions of naira was recovered from our past leaders. Where the monies are and what are they doing with them?
“This explanation is necessary considering the state of our education and other infrastructure like roads which need serious government attention.”
He said the founders of the Sokoto Caliphate had written many books on corruption and how it could be addressed using Islamic ways.
